Christmas Countdown - 2009

[Maureen]

Just to say I've dropped Track a line (still have her address from Christmas) so hopefully I'll have some news - good bad or indifferent - soon

It's a lovely day here in indiana. It is supposed to get to 83 and be sunny. I can't wait for spring and summer to be over. I would prefer it to not get over 70. I think I will spend the weekend watching nascar and work on organizing my chest freezer. I hope you all have a good weekend and a safe one.


Laundry is a necessity unless we all lose our sense of smell

Sunny, warm and not humid today. Just like yesterday. It was 84 yesterday and it's probably going to be about the same today. I went for a walk with my dog yesterday and I got a blister so I may not go today. I think I'm going to my friend's house for a makeover. She's been asking me to do it because she's in some kind of contest with Mary Kay to get 100 faces in 100 days or something like that. Then it's back to work tonight.

Good morning.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I don't have much planned for today. I think I am just going to sit back and relax. I worked in the yard a lot yesterday, so today is going to be a take it easy day.

Take care and be safe.

Ballcoach.. the shispering pines is a result of jay's failure in tenth grade typing....

Crown...thanks for filling me in...Binger, I just about spit my coffee on my laptop when I read that....too funny...

 

[ballcoach]

Hi All! Hope your morning is as beautiful as mine! It's 9:30 and already 78 degrees. It's going to be nice. Yard needs much attention and I can't wait to get to it! Ball team won in the regional tourney yesterday, which means we qualified for the state tourney. So I suppose all is good here. Hope you all have a good day....see you again later this afternoon!:

It is supposed to be 84 here again today and partly cloudy. I think I will probally stay in most of today and watch the nascar race this afternoon. I am trying to get myself off the computer and into the kitchen to organize the freezer but no luck with that yet. Hope you all have a wonderful day.cheesy

It's an orrftop garden when you've had too much coffee.

A belated Good Morning, folks.
No, Bing, I didn't get up late (well, no later than ususal that is) I was just involved in various projects and the time slipped away.
At least I'll get the count posted before noon so I won't have to "round down"!

Speaking of that:
Days to the Season: 201
Days to Christmas Day:243
MILESTONE TIME!
That's right, the 1/3 Christmas Day Milestone has arrived.
And tomorrow - the 200-Day Season window.
Sheesh!!

Hot here, guys. Not even noon yet and we stand at 81.
Ninety predicted for the high after we reached 92 yesterday.

Regardless of the heat, have a Super Sunday, Super Friends.
Get all rested up to begin moving another week closer to our Fantastic Christmas Season tomorrow!

good afternoon all

Back from church and driving the Sunday school bus. We are have a foggy overcast day after the storm the blew through yesterday. Supposed to be getting warm and sunny again tomorrow.
Today I am just going to relax, enjoy a good movie and hang out on the computer. Amazing race is on tonight so I will catch that too.
Hope you all have a great day.

:hello: And in said honour, I present a little Shispering Pines poetry for y'all.

Way down near the Shispering Pines
I saw a three-humped camel
And a star that shines
I performed on stage where the Famous Opera Players tour
Settle in for some fun
Grab a maradio sugar cookie and the java dejour
There’s a hammock in the corner for our friend Crown
Go ahead and make some noise
Keep the merriment going after the sun goes down.


:-? Okay … not my best work, but it was worth a shot.

Maybe this little bit will make up for it.

Since we’re celebrating a special milestone, how about a little bit of jolly

Hey, whatcha doin' get out to the store and stock (or stalk) up on some Scotch Tape.

Seriously, it's gotten so bad ... I actually carry a roll around in my coat pocket just to get a whiff of pine needles so I can transport myself to the very centre of Christmas whenever I want.

Wonder what I'll do in the summer when I don't need a coat ... wanders off to ponder ...

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday? Have a great day!

Hope everyone has had a nice weekend! We have been in the upper 80's all weekend. Friday night I had dinner with some girlfriends on the back patio - first time of the season. Beautiful!! Spent some time playing with my daughter outside on Saturday and watched a great Cards/Cubs game!! Today was church and some yard work. I watched the Cards/Cubs today, but it wasn't exactly a "great" game this time...

How exciting to hit these milestones today and tomorrow! We're on our way!!!
